Too small for me to assess well.

Not bad. I wish the wires were narrower, the cups a bit more open, and the straps closer set, but nothing hurts. I like the lower gore. I may keep it for lower-cut tops, but I’ll probably try the high-apex version first.

So close!! I had previously tried this bra in a 30ddd, I couldn’t quite fill it. 30dd is better but still slightly wrinkled at the top. I love it the shape and the feel of the fabric. It is softer than the same bra in the black color way. Hoping I can try this in a 28f! (Update: 28f is too small in the cup)

I wanted to love this bra because I think it is absolutely adorable but it just isn't right for me. I tried a size up based on reviews saying it ran small, but it was too big. There is not enough projection for me. I also really need more support and this offers no extra support, no side sling. I love how close set the gore is and the straps are nice and wide. I wish it had 3 hooks. I want to try it in a GG but I don't think I will. This bra just isn't supportive enough for me and I think it would cut into my upper tissue in my true size.

Good fit! Wish the gore didn't come up as high so it felt more plunge though. Pretty design and flattering fit. Texture of the lace is sometimes visible through thinner shirts.
The top of the band under the arms folds weird, but this also doesn't bother me and might actually give me more movement so maybe it's intentional?

I love this bra! It came up in Bratabase recommendations.
There was some wrinkling in the top lace, as usual. I have zero upper fullness, especially after weight loss. It seems next to impossible to find bras that don't wrinkle a little in the tops of the cups. I took the top lace in a bit, which fixed the wrinkling.
Otherwise, this bra fits me perfectly. It even has enough immediate projection. The underwires are wide, which is perfect for my wide roots.
The band is quite long for a 30 band, as usual in Freya bras. I use band size 32 in some bras, but definitely need a 30 ... band in this bra.
I love the Shark colorway. It's a bit purplish gray.
My breast shape: Wide roots, bottom-heavy, somewhat pointy.
Overall, this bra is great if you're bottom-heavy with wide roots like me. I had some wrinkling in the tops of the cups, but less than usual. The cups might be a bit tall for me, which could also contribute to the wrinkling.
There is one big issue with this bra, though: It's very uncomfortable! The underwires are not well cushioned. They push against my ribcage uncomfortably. I can't even wear this bra for more than a couple of hours at a time. It's a shame because otherwise, it's a great bra. I'm not even sure if I'm keeping it because wearing it hurts.
Pros:
- Looks pretty
- Enough immediate projection
- Wide underwires
Cons:
- Very uncomfortable!
- The band is on the loose side
- The lace at the tops of the cups wrinkles

The cup is too small for me and I get significant quadding after scooping and swooping. The band is stretchy but I think it's not too big, I like the lower gore and the fact that the straps aren't too wide set so it does not rub against the armpit. The color is pretty but the fabric itself is kind of meh.

Fits really well. Fabric could be softer. Lots of bouncing with small movements due to thin lace in the cups. Wearing on the tightest hook. Wires go under armpits but aren't uncomfortable.

This is a good quality bra with soft fabric in a lovely, blue/purple colour. The cups are quite wide with high wings and the fabric is soft, so it comfortably encloses my side breast tissue, although for some it might run up too high under the arms for comfort. The cups are slightly to big for me, I can't quite fill it at the top but it doesn't bother me so much. While the gore lies flat on my sternum initially, the wires do shift towards either breast after a while, which becomes uncomfortable. Unlike the 30FF that I tried before, this band feels comfortable on the loosest setting, e.g. I can breathe without cringing. The bra doesn't do much for me in terms of lifting or shape, but for an every day bra it should be fine.

Gore wires shift sideways, what does it mean?

The design is pretty and I love the colour. I fill out the cups nicely. However, I feel the band is uncomfortably tight, it hurts my ribcage.
